Trionfo Violetto Garden Bean Heirloom

"This Italian heirloom pole bean is one of the most exquisite, with mottled leaves and flavorful deep purple pods. Grow on a trellis or let it ramble over a porch."

Space seeds 3" apart with 3-4 seedlings per pole.  Harvest regularly but avoid working around wet plants.
